Video iPod? How Steve Jobs Can Not Take Back His Words
Why is Apple looking for an engineer to work on video integration for the iPod, even after what Steve Jobs has said? Here are some wild and crazy ideas...
1. Apple will pioneer a new eyeglass add-on, where video will be piped to just one of the two lens. Now, you can watch video while exercising.
2. The iPod will not only be able to record audio, but video too.
3. Daddy and mommy can listen to jazz in the frontseat of their BMW, while the kids can watch Barney in the backseat. From the same iPod.
Do you have any ideas beyond what Microsoft is doing with its portable video player?
